TAMIL NADU FARMERS DRINKS URINE IN PROTEST

Tamil Nadu farmers during protest in Jantar Mantar

Its a big cause of worry that the helping hands of the nation, the farmers who used to  feed us are in the darkest and toughest situation. Damage of crops, large interest rates on the agricultural loans, bad seed quality, worst weather conditions, poor water supply, insufficient irrigation, low level ground water are few of the trouble cases which the farmer faces. Heavy rain during the monsoon, drought during the summers results damage in the crops. Most of the regions in India follows the two crop types which are Ravi and Khariff. Therefor these are the only two chances where farmers looks with full hope. He works hard through out the year and if crops damaged at the end of year then of course that leads disturbance in farmers mind. Most of the farmers have taken the loan from the banks which they  are unable to return, therefore at the end of the day they used to commit suicide. 

Record of feb 2016 shows 3313 suicides in the  nation out of which most of them belongs to Maharastra. Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu  also follows the numbers and are in top in ranking after Maharastra. According to National Crime Bureau the suicides of farmers are the 11.2% of all  the suicides. The numbers were 5650 in 2014.  

farmers drinking urine for the protest

Recent suicides in Tamil Nadu has also warmed the nations. Lack of water in Tamil  Nadu is the biggest concern, even the dispute of the states like Kerela and the Karnataka over the rivers also generates some problematic issue for farmers.  Far away situated fields of the farmers not able to get the proper irrigation water and because of that crops are not able to grow in time. After 144 farmers committed suicide in Tamil  Nadu, the state had already declared drought in state on Jan 10 2017. Most of the farmers were hoping for the Kavery water, however unfortunate dispute in Kerela and Karnataka disheartening them. The Mettur Dam is there but its not enough to supply to the larger parts. 

Recent suicides has lead these farmers to  go on protest where the Government is ignoring these helping hands. Earlier they marched in Tamil  Nadu where the Government never tried to look after them, and now while they are protesting in Jantar Mantar from last couple of days none of media is  interested covering there serious pain of life  and death. The limit has already been crossed and the worst comes then, when these farmers drinks there urine. Still Government is busy  inn by  polls of J&K and the MCD polls in Delhi. Media is  even busy  covering the IPL matches and Sadhus and bhogis.  

Reasons are many as farmers are not getting quality seeds and more than half of quantity  they  gets spoiled seeds. Pesticides are quite expensive and non affordable, limited irrigation methods etc. Poor farmers use to  approach banks where they gets the agricultural load at a rate of interest rate up to 14 %. When there crops get damaged they  losses all the hopes to return the loans and gets defaulter  by the banks. At the end they are lft with no options and unintentionally approaches to the moneylenders who used to  lend them money at a very  high rate interest off 30-40 % and some time more then 50 %. Recently, UP CM Yogi Adityanath has given his instruction to terminate the loans of farmers, however the same defeated by RBI as claiming that if they  will terminate the loans it will  be affecting economically for the nation.

No issues that Government is worried about these helping hands of the nations. They are working all  its best to eradicate the reason for the poor farmers suicides. Pradhan Mantri  Fasal Beema Yojna which was started by  the Government last year for the farmers however the protest of these farmers stating something different that the help is not enough. Weather forecasting has already given the instruct about the large number of drought falling during May June 2017 but no relevant measurement taken by the Government till  now.

Good quality seeds , Quality tools, cheaper pesticides should be provide directly to the Panchayat so  that it will beccome easier to farmers and also will helps to avoid taking loans. Irrigation is  much required therefore should be worked upon by Government at very  first place. After the crop cultivation farmers faces the problem to load their crops and to sell them in Mandi's therefore a proper facility  should be provided in a good scale that farmers can easily carry there hard earned crops to  the market. Most of the time after the cultivation the heavy rainfalls damages the crops therefore proper shelter should be constructed in almost every  Panchayat.  The most important thing is the best price  for the crop is not given to the farmers in market. This should be taken care off.

AVOID DRINK AND DRIVE

do not drink and drive

The decision from government to ban the liquor shops within the distance of 500 mt on highway region comes with a bill to lower down the numbers in accidents. The decision comes quite late which should be taken decades ago, however we welcomes the decision of the government. As it has been noticed the death toll because of the drunk and drive has risen up unconditionally. People use to consume alcohol over the limit and forgets their family  and all the limits of the life. Drunk and drive not only affects the drunken driver however the innocents who are moving on the road on the other hand as well.  The ratio of death toll because of drink and drive case has been risen up from last couple of years. Most of the time the road accidents and the negligence of the drivers some times plays with the life of innocent people.

Most of the people when hanging out with the friends or in parties, after getting drunk, lost all the presence and the conscientiousness and in that stage without caring their family and no even thinking about their father, mother,kids even once and took the risk on highways. After loosing control over the driving hits someone else on the road. These accidents not only affects the drivers and the victim of the accidents but the families behind themselves. Therefore the alcohol consumption on the road not only affects the drinkers but the others as well on the road.                  

Of course, our transport minister Nitin Gadkari was taking all positive move to  bring down the death toll and the numbers of accidents since 2014, however the much awaited step has now landed on the bill and comes into effect now, where all the liquor shops will be banned within the 500 mt distance from the highways . Definitely this much awaited step will be making a huge difference. Earlier Government has taken many steps and left no stone unturned to stop the accidents. Unfortunately it a shame to the people and the public where they violated the instructions and never followed them. Even for the public protection and their own safety they not even bothered to wear seat belts and avoids wearing helmets. These security regions are meant for the public safety  and the security. 

• The ban on the wine shops will at least going to reduce the numbers of death toll on the roads. Under the Ammendment bill 2016 Government has increased the drink and drive charges which was earlier Rs 2000/- to Rs 10000/- as fine and the imprisonment of at least 6 months.

• Under the section 185 of motor vehicle act 1988, alcohol limit should not exceed 30 mg / 100 ml of blood 

• If taken drugs or not in the state to drive, the penalty will be there 10000/- or 6 months of imprisonment. 

There are few states like Gujrat, Bihar, Manipur, Nagaland and the UT Lakshadweep where the alcohol is totally banned. Rest of the states has described the different age limits to consume alcohol. Minimum 18 years in Himachal Pradesh, Goa, Karnataka and 25 years in Haryana, Delhi. In many of the states this limit is 21 years. 

Therefore Government should also take another initiative to give the age limit for drinking alcohol under the provision of the law which should be same through out the  nation.

Uniform Civil Code

Article 44 under the constitutional law deals with the uniform civil code. Uniform civil  code means the same law code validation under the same roof of justice for every  religion and the caste in the nation. Civil code was a proposal to replace the personnel law which covers marriage, divorce, adoption etc.

uniform civil code

Well most of the matters like contract transfer of act, goods sales etc comes under the civil  code already. However the religion and different castes are not treated under the same code of rule. Therefore this is the biggest question itself whether the civil code is required and applied for the nation or not ?

Like the marriage act as the different religion follows different guidelines for the marriage for example the age, culture etc. Even for the divorce as well different guidelines are given. Triple talaq and many more cases reflects this partiality  and display the negative uniqueness where people are tagged in the cultural boundation.

If we talk about the friendship deed which means to live freely in a live in relationship without any  marriage agreement or the two people with the same gender want to stay along with each other in the society where the culture and law opposes both therefore is it required to apply the same code in favor of these people? Questions are thousand but  the result is still on hold. Therefore it is very important to take everyone's opinion and there well fair before applying the civil  code. Country  India having different states with different languages, religions, caste systems and many  more differential states therefore before implementing the civil code it should be verified properly in the very initial stage before putting the contractual law bonding for the people. 

Why the civil code should be applied ?

No doubt there is a lot of discrimination on the ground of religion, culture, language, caste system therefore to overcome this problem one should honestly taken the civil code.

Of course, in out society  women had always been dominated by the male society therefore to uplift  the women definitely civil  code will be helpful.

To avoid and to abolish the Triple Talaq matter from its grass root          

Why the civil code should not be applied according to the religious followers?

As different religions have there own independence to practice their worship according to  their culture. As in Hindu religion people believe that the women with the mensuration cycle will be prohibited to enter into the temples. Even some of the temples have banned the women and the scheduled castes to enter into it and practice the worship. 

Even the same with the Muslim community  where the women are banned to practice the Namaaj in the Mosque. Many Hindu temples do not allows the scheduled castes to enter into the temple therefore its the biggest question that is it against the law or against the faith on God. If according to a religion perspective if some of the God don't want to  meet women in there compromising state or with the scheduled caste should the Supreme court enters into the matter and ban it or not. this itself a biggest question as the freedom of religion is also there in the constitution.
